Anyone on here that has to deal with job applicantions??

if so,
Is 1 and 3/4 pages too long for a CV?

I'm applying for a job that is kiinda a little bit out of what i have done,
but i know i can do the job on offer, so i need to talk myself up a little bit.
lol. but its getting on 2 pages long.

achievements listed on there are pretty relavent ETC.
but i know these things are best kept short as poss?


fingers crossed

thanks.. P

 

thats fine mate, 1 page is too short, 2 is ideal

 

you don't want it to be too long, because it takes too long to read it
you don't want it to be too short because there isn't enough nifo
you want it to be 2 pages, one for your personal info, one for your recent jobs and job jobbed

i'm sure there are cv sites on the net to tell you what to put in and stuff, just make it a little different to them so as to make them think you have put some effort intot it rather than just prionted off loads of them of the net

also, make sure that the layout is all of the same type, don't put big letters as titles etc, if you want somehting to stand out just put it in bold and don't make it too fancy pants

 

2 is abosolutely fine. I think mine runs into 3 now so as long as its relevant and its easy to read you're sorted.

 

Mine was like a novel so cut it down to 2 1/2 pages but ideally 2 is enough, I just couldn't get all the important info in on 2 and didnt want to do it in smaller print in case some blind fucker tried reading it...

 

 

As already said, 2 pages is about right which is what mine is.

 

2 is fine.

3 maximum tho.

Dont waffle to fill it out tho, they wont read it, more likely to just nob it off without bothering.

Only more than 1.5 or 2 if you REALLY need the info in there.

 

nice one. thanks guys!
all sealed up and sent off!

hope to get an interview at least ! lol

 

i would say keep it to two! And keep it easy to read and bullet point it etc. When i was working i was recuriting for job below me i had to read loads of CV's it the waffled you would bin half of them as you didnt have time to read.

Keep it to the point imo
